Doesn't have to be super powerful, just lifting about 100 pounds, frequently. I've already looked at the normal places, and they are all DC powered (car battery). I suppose it could also be manual.

I have a Air Admittance Valve (AAV) on my soil stack in the loft cavity from my ensuite. A few weeks a go the wastes (toilet, sink, shower) started draining slowly and when i flushed the toilet it drained very slow and then a gurgling sound were coming from the other plug holes.

A friend said that its probably the AAV getting stuck so no air was being let into the soil system. I have just replaced the AAV and the problem is still happening.

Has anyone got any ideas to what else could be wrong?

I have a Lennox whisper heat that is 12 years old. What it does is shut off during a call for heat and not come on until someone manually turns it off and back on via power switch or thermostat. It usually occurs overnight or when everyone is gone to school/work. As a result it gets really cold in my house. It did it again last night and the temp. outside was 13-15 degrees F. It was about 59 degrees F in my house this morning. This has been happening for 2 1/2 weeks now. I have a cold because of this. Can somebody please tell me what is wrong with this piece of crap?

I want something for my entire downstairs that covers the living room, family room and kitchen which are all kind of connected. I want something kind of glossy that looks like wood with a grain. I also need to do stairs with it. I want something durable (AC4) that will withstand scratch and minor moisture. Does it exist? Please dont say Pergo..I have checked out that brand and really think its inferior and your paying for the name. Any help or places to purchase, websites etc would be appreciated.
